YUE BAI HAI

As soon as I arrived in Zhanjiang, I ran to the Guanhai Corridor, which was very beautiful under the blue sky and white clouds. This Yuebaihai Seafood Steamer is on Guanhai Road. The seafood ordered is steamed in the steamer. At the bottom of the steamer, rice, water, ribs, and Huaisheng are placed. When all the seafood is steamed, the seafood juice drips into the porridge, which is very delicious. (All the seafood in this restaurant is very fresh.) The only bad thing is that you have to wait for a seat. I went there at 12:40 and waited for more than 20 minutes.
